Bill Clinton’s office said the former president went to Georgetown University Medical Center (USA) for testing and monitoring after having a fever, adding that Mr. Clinton “remains mentally healthy.” NBC News, citing knowledgeable sources, said that Mr. Clinton’s health situation is not serious.

The health condition is said to have motivated Mr. Clinton to change his lifestyle, including starting a vegetarian diet, and also often shares about his own efforts. The most recent information about Mr. Clinton’s health before his recent hospitalization was when he contracted Covid-19.
Mr. Clinton actively participated in activities supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in this year’s election campaign. In August, Mr. Bill Clinton gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), thereby extending his consecutive series of speeches at this event since 1976. “I didn’t know I could attend.” How many more events like this,” he said at the time.
Recently, former President Clinton also released a memoir about his life after leaving the White House in 2001. Since then, he has devoted a lot of time to diplomatic and humanitarian activities. In the list of living former US presidents, Mr. Barack Obama is the youngest, followed by Mr. Clinton.
